    Does anyone else see the parallel between Wil wanting to ride a Segway, and him being in San Francisco, the gay capital of America? :hip:

    Actually, you know you want a go just as much as I do... there should be Segway Jousting at Quakecon!!!

    If I'm not mistaken I do believe I saw a group riding around the other day in SF. I couldn't figure out what was going on. It isn't every day that you see a group of Segways going around the wharf. I guess this explains it...

    Steve Wozniak (original co-founder of Apple) owns like half a dozen segways. He's a big fan of segway polo iirc. :lol:
    Perhaps you didn't read the article? ;)

    I hate Segways. Seriously, how lazy do you have to be to say "You know, walking is far too much effort to get around. I think I'll buy an ugly overpriced scooter to haul my fat butt around and eliminate the little bit of exercise left in my life! Huzzah!" (And yes, I know not all Segway riders are fat, but they need doctor's authorization to use the "too fat to walk" wheelchair/scooter things.)

    Segways are the embodiment of having too much money and nothing good to spend it on. It's the transportation equivalent of wearing a visor.

    here's an idea, take the money you would unload on a segway and invesnt in a recumbent bike. Firstly they are more comfortable, and also they a bike so it helps with exercise :)
